G&A review

The algorithm popped up a review of an iteration of the Sig 365 on my feed. I think the 365 is a pretty good pistol for what it is (polymer frame, bottom feeding, brass puker) and own one. The article was a proported review of the gun and detailed its history and features. Ok. That a light and optic could be fitted. Not my thing but ok. That an expansion chamber would reduce muzzle flip by "an estimated 30%". Ok. Not really an issue for me as I don't find the muzzle flip to be an issue, but then my gunfighter days are behind me, I hope. The author said the gun was "a joy to shoot ". What was apparently considered superfluous by the author was any shooting results. No targets. No group size. Nada. WTF. Are those of us who want to know how a gun actually shoots such a minority that authors no longer feel the need to actually show shooting results? I own guns because I like to shoot them. If I want information on a gun how it shoots is my top priority. It seems like 10 yards is now considered "long distance" for many reviewers. At least they show targets. Is the handgun market now reduced to selling polymer framed, striker fired, pocket guns to scared people? I cut my teeth reading Elmer and Skeeter and Ross. I guess I am a dinosaur. Sorry for the rant.

An example of how much G&A has deteriorated. Worse than most now, and that is saying something.

Maybe the author is a piss poor shot? Maybe the author has wrote a review in the past showing piss poor groups and got a lot of negative feedback from readers?
.
Except for the "expansion chamber" the above is about what I would write about my Ruger 9e (a simplified version of Ruger's SR9), it came out in 2017 and discontinued in 2018. I really like the gun and it is "a joy to shoot ".

I told G&A in a letter to go pack sand back in '88. To this day I have not willing picked up issue either in the grocery store, etc., or in a Dr office when the only other choices are along the lines of Cosmo, Better Homes and Gardens, People, etc. Nor online articles, I scroll past.

it took me all the way to the end [and read twice] to figure out we were talking about a handgun and not another AR take-off type rifle.
